Could be made into a V7 Sport without the huge pricing of the new ones.

There is feck all 'potential' in the small blocks and a world of difference between this and a V7 sport old or new but they can be very good bikes....

I've been told V65 Lario 4V heads on a 750 could be a good way to make them breathe.
What you think, Paul?
Just curious.

Larios 'can' be sorted out and when they are they go very well - in fact I'd say they punch far above their weight, much like early Pantahs seem to BUT be prepared for a lot of pain getting there.
I'd have that in a flash or a V65 / V50 but dont expect a cheap bike. Parts are a little harder to find for them these days and you have to really stay on top of them. Break a UJ on one and loose half the arse of the gearbox.
Someone was making an 830cc kit a while back but its almost pointless as the Heron head design limits how much power its ever going to make. Its why people want to put 4V heads on them really.
The lario heads are always difficult. Originally they suffered from apocalyptic reliability as everything from the valve make up (two piece) to excessive spring rates, chocolate camshafts to poor oiling was blamed. One suposed fix was GN250 valve springs and some occult mixture of collets but thats just one fix.
As far as I know Lario inlet valves are now non stock but to the terminally keen thats never been an issue.
Stock - a V65 / V75 is a groovy thing.... But its not a V7

She's a beauty! Please tell your mate his Love of Guzzi's clearly shows through the condition of this bike.....If I had the money I would snap it up in a heart beat! (always room for another Guzzi in my shedIts owned by a real Guzzi fan on this forum. He's pretty fussy about his Guzzis and is reluctantly selling this one.)

She was out of the garage on Sunday. Got a start up and run for a while. Then a good polish up with CRC and armorall. Took off the old tank pad (the nuts protector one, not the main big one) and a tiny little bit of paint come off with it grrrr !!!

I bought a new one which covers it up so all is not lost.
Caleb got a wee ride on her up and down the street (off the public road, Mr Ossifer). The V11's really do not like going 10km/h though lol although my son didn't seem to notice with his huge smile.
On-Hold rego runs out in 11 days and then she's back on the road.

You will find that the 750-T will have more power than the current V7 Classic range because even thought they have basically the same engine, the newer bikes are more restricted by E3 whereas the V750 isn't. Also the V750 has twin discs at the front and better adjustable forks and is lighter thus giving a better power to weight than the Classic range.
Given those statistics it would be a better bike in the end for a cafe replica- lighter, more power, better brakes etc, plus having carbs it would be more easily tuned to different exhaust and/or cam than the non adjustable black box of the V7 classic. The best performance upgrade for the small block engines is a Raceco cam. They stole a lot of the bottom end from the 500cc twins, but when used on a 750 they honk and the extra torque of the bigger CC's retains a lot of the bottom end. With the measly 173kg weight and a cam it would eat the 850 LeMans bikes.
As far as I know the 750-T is the rarest Guzzi stand alone model in the last 50 years. They only made 100 and only for the UK market. Not that it makes it valuable or anything, nor does it make it unique as all the parts are interchangable with all the other small block bikes.

Take care Chris, great to hear big red is back in the shed

Anything I have needed for my Monza last year and my V50 and Imola before that was avaliable and in a lot of cases cheaper than the big block stuff.
